AGROECOL2 Promoting AGROecology through co-creating value chain innovations and improved multi-level POLIcieS in a beyond-growth Europe

The term "agroecology" has been around for around a hundred years, aiming to make our food systems more sustainable and holistic. However, awareness and adoption of agroecology in Europe is still quite low, with estimates suggesting that less than three percent of farms on the continent operate f...

Exploring the implications of power dynamics for food system change and sustainability outcomes across food, environment, health and climate

Changing the food system in a sustainable direction requires more than scientific knowledge on climate and environmental issues. This is just as much a social and political task. Thus how, in which ways and by whom the food system is governed will greatly affect how the connections between food, ...
